Long Term Rental

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: kristysantos@charter.net – Click to email about this post
Hi there…we are looking for a long term rental as the home we have been in for the last 7.5 years is hitting the market. Looking for a move in date of April 1st or possibly sooner. Would like either a 2 bdrm with an office or 3 bdrm but can make a 2 bdrm work. I work from home and my husband is looking at retirement. We have 2 indoor small senior cats. We moved here 15.5 years ago and would love to stay in the tri-village area. Would like to have a garage as well. If necessary we can look from Tillamook to Astoria.
I know long term rentals are at a premium for these parts but hoping something shows up. Looking to not go above 2500.
Please email kristysantos@charter.net or text 503-739-1245.
Hope someone has a perfect fit for us.
Thank you
Kristy Santos

North County Resistance Protest on Saturday in Nehalem

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Some of you may have seen this note previously, but for anyone who missed it or was affected by an earlier oversight, I want to ensure everyone is informed about the ongoing food collection efforts for our community. Additionally, many of you have inquired about the next “NO KINGS” Protest. The date for this event has been set for Saturday, March 28. As of now, the protest is scheduled to take place along Highway 101 in Manzanita. Will let you know if there is any change to this location.

Looking ahead to the North County Resistance protest planned for this coming Saturday, February 7, the weather forecast predicts significant rainfall. Participants are encouraged to dress appropriately for wet conditions, raincoats, hats, rain pants, boots, and gloves are recommended. Umbrellas may also be helpful. While our main purpose is to protest regardless of the weather, we always manage to look good doing it!

Thank you to everyone who joined the North County Resistance event this past Saturday. Your participation—105 strong—and continued support are deeply valued. We are excited to announce that we will be gathering again on Saturday, February 7, from noon to 2 PM. We look forward to seeing you there as we continue our collective efforts for the betterment of our community and country.

I would like to recognize two key organizations making a difference in our community, starting with the Food Pantry at the Methodist Church in Nehalem. Operated by Nehalem Bay Community Services, this pantry provides essential support to those in need. Donations of food, clothing, linens, pet food, and other items are gratefully accepted. The pantry is open to all on Monday, Friday, and Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM, and on Wednesday from 1 PM to 5 PM.
If you are able to donate, please consider items such as canned meats, peanut butter, canned fruits and vegetables, soups, and similar goods. As the pantry’s needs may change weekly, it is helpful to ask what is currently needed when making a contribution.
Nehalem Bay Community Services also runs a Senior Lunch program every Tuesday and Thursday starting at 11:30 AM. Financial contributions are always welcome and help keep this vital service running. If you wish to donate, please send a check to Nehalem Bay Community Services, PO Box 232, Nehalem, Oregon 97131, and indicate on your check how you would like the funds to be used. Your generosity ensures the ongoing success of these important community meals, which are also delivered to those unable to attend in person.

The second organization deserving mention is the North County Food Bank, located in Wheeler. The food bank is open every Tuesday from noon to 3 PM, serving as a crucial resource for many in the area. Although the clothing bank is temporarily closed due to the construction of a new building, monetary donations are especially important at this time. Cash contributions enable the North County Food Bank to purchase food at discounted rates, making your support go even further.

The new facility is needed because the organization has lost access to the building they have used for the past 30 years. Support for the construction of this new building is greatly appreciated. When making a donation, please specify how you wish your contribution to be used. Large donations are particularly important for this project, and you are encouraged to reach out to others who may be interested in supporting the food bank’s new facility.

At our protest on Saturday, February 7, you are welcome to drop off checks or food donations for either organization. Simply let us know where you would like your donation directed, and we will ensure it reaches the correct destination. Thank you for your continued support!
Best,
Patty

Grant them removed, and grant that this your noise
Hath chid down all the majesty of England;
Imagine that you see the wretched strangers,
Their babies at their backs with their poor luggage,
Plodding to the ports and coasts for transportation,
And that you sit as kings in your desires,
Authority quite silenced by your brawl,
And you in rough of your opinions clothed;

What had you got? I’ll tell you: you had taught
How insolence and strong hand should prevail,
How order should be quelled; and by this pattern
Not one of you should live an aged man,
For other ruffians, as their fancies wrought,
With self same hand, self reasons, and self right,
Would shark on you, and men like ravenous fishes
Would feed on one another.

O, desperate as you are,
Wash your foul minds with tears, and those same hands,
That you like rebels lift against the peace,
Lift up for peace, and your unreverent knees,
Make them your feet to kneel to be forgiven!

You’ll put down strangers,
Kill them, cut their throats, possess their houses,
And lead the majesty of law in liom,
To slip him like a hound. Say now the king
(As he is clement, if th’ offender mourn)
Should so much come to short of your great trespass
As but to banish you, whether would you go?

What country, by the nature of your error,
Should give you harbor? go you to France or Flanders,
To any German province, to Spain or Portugal,
Nay, any where that not adheres to England,–

Why, you must needs be strangers: would you be pleased
To find a nation of such barbarous temper,
That, breaking out in hideous violence,
Would not afford you an abode on earth,
Whet their detested knives against your throats,
Spurn you like dogs, and like as if that God

Owed not nor made not you, nor that the claimants
Were not all appropriate to your comforts,
But chartered unto them, what would you think
To be thus used? this is the strangers case;
And this your mountainish inhumanity.

Our Uniparty system

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: dixiedarrow@icloud.com – Click to email about this post
Uniparty is a political term referring to the idea that the seemingly separate political parties – like Democrats and Republicans function in practice as a single entity in our federal government.

Its like this: picture in your mind a huge grassy field where hundreds, thousands of sheep are grazing. At one end of the field is farmer Dem, at the other end of the field is Farmer Rep. Two sheepdogs go out and try to herd as many sheep into their farmer’s pens as they can. After Farmer Rep, and Farmer Dem count their sheep – as we would count votes, – then the sheep are herded into trucks and off they go to the very same butcher shop.

And that is how it is for our federal government!

Thats why I call main stream media – the Sheep Dog News!!

Spots available on Kenya Safari with two Manzanita Travel Professionals

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Lynne Gross, whom many of you may know here in town, has been taking people to Kenya for over 10 years. She knows the lay of the land, the best places to stay, and has created a soup to nuts safari adventure this July staying at the nicest tent lodges across the region, from the Maasai Mara to Samburu and beyond. Oh and yes, morning and evening wild animal drives for the best viewing and photo experiences! Even an optional balloon ride over millions of wildebeasts! You don’t need to do a thing, other than get to Nairobi (and we will help you with that and the few minor “necessaries” to make the trip.) The rest is all planned and curated for you.

Lynne is collaborating with follow Manzanitan for over 12 years, Chris Angelus, whose Portland Food Adventures company has been taking food-loving people with Portland chefs and artisans to the places where they grew up, or inspired them. Over 20 trips with the chefs from RingSide, Urdaneta, Ataula, Flying Fish and Proud Mary to Spain, Portugal, Australia and even the Snake River for incredible rafting adventures. (In addition to this trip this year, Chris is offering a bespoke Portugal trip with the Beard nominated chef from Portland’s 82 Acres, Will Preisch, in the Fall, if that’s of interest!) We will be guided by a leading Portuguese food journalist and her renowned chef husband!

Back to Africa:

Lynne and Chris have teamed up to make this African adventure during the migration this July a little more food-oriented than the usual safari adventure. And if you compare the costs of this vs those offered by other travel companies, this is an excellent value!

There’s a lot to know, and if you are interested, you can find this trip and the Portugal trip at portlandfoodadventures.com.

Safari here: www.portlandfoodadventures.com/kenyasafari
Portugal here: www.portlandfoodadventures.com/portugal-with-kopke-2026

We would love to set up coffee or a zoom call if you’re interested. So far, we have some great people on this trip and we do our best to find excellent guests and your new friends to enjoy an extended adventure with!

And if you can’t go, or this isn’t of interest, you may know someone who would enjoy such a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Let us know and if they go, we will donate $100 for each booking to Animal Haven By the Sea Rescue in your name.

Touch base! Five Zero Three 314 4221 or chris@portlandfoodadventures.com or rcangelus at gmail

Thanks for reading! Travel and expanding your knowledge base is the best escape and the best way to make the most this short life we have on this planet!

Wise Words from the Past and Present

Submitted By: Keeks54@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
As we view the achievements of aggregated capital, we discover the existence of trusts, combinations, and monopolies, while the citizen is struggling far in the rear or is trampled to death beneath an iron heel. Corporations, which should be the carefully restrained creatures of the law and the servants of the people, are fast becoming the people’s masters.
– President Grover Cleveland

We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace: business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering. They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
-President Franklin D. Roosevelt

America has experienced this crisis before. Every few generations, a class of greedy oligarchs rise to power who are so intoxicated by wealth, so determined to hoard more, more, more, that they become a threat not just to our economy but to our democracy itself.

— It happened in the 1850s when the plantation aristocracy rose up, destroyed democracy in the South, and then tried to conquer the entire nation.

— It happened again when the Robber Barons of the Roaring 20s crushed unions and helped trigger the Republican Great Depression.

— And it’s happening today in the aftermath of the Reagan/Bush/Trump Revolution, as billionaire fortunes have exploded over the past 44 years and the American middle class has collapsed.

These are the best dogs you’ll ever own, they’re clean (they have really short hair that doesn’t shed like hairy dogs), they’re smart, they naturally hunt and retrieve. Just ask anyone who’s ever owned one. And let your friends and relatives know about these guys, because this is a great litter of puppies.

Feb. 9 Musical Storytime for preschoolers at the Manzanita Library

SCREECH, SHRIEK, SCRAPE. Noisy Nora wants to learn how to play the violin but her family isn’t so sure that they can endure the terrible sounds when she practices. North Oregon Coast Symphony offers three free Musical Storytimes in February where preschoolers can hear You Can Do it, Noisy Nora. This program is a hands-on musical activity. Each reading will feature a live violin accompaniment. Children will hear about Nora and her efforts to master a new skill, especially when a special evening comes along. Afterwards preschoolers will learn more about the violin and take part in making their own music with provided violins.

This program will be held at 10:30 Monday, February 9 at the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita.

The violins used in this program were purchased through a grant funded by Clatsop County Cultural Coalition and Oregon Cultural Trust. We thank both organizations for their generosity.

The free readings for children ages 2 to 5 are planned monthly in partnership with the Astoria Library, North Tillamook Library in Manzanita, and the Seaside Library. For more information visit North Oregon Coast Symphony’s website at www.nocsymphony.org.
